Subject: Rea! Estate Fraud Copipiaint regarding Trump University of New York
1 attended a S i ,500 Tramp i,>!irveTsity past Track to Foreclosure Training retreat where I was introduced
npi
rs the salesperson'sjai.gh|)ressured saies techniques: and guarantee that my first deal vvould earn me in
the ballpark of the $34,995 expenditure so as to immediately pay off my Trump Uni versity debt. No
such thing occurred.
Since tne oegimiing of their program, I have concluded that Trump University representatives misled me
consisleully , and did not provide w4iat I signed up for, u.sing neurolinguistic prograniming and liiuh
pressure saies tactics based on the p,sychok)gy of scarcity to get observers to become pailicipants in tlieir
program. This included inslruction by the speaker to raise your credit limit for real estate transactions
omy to then teli the attendants to use that same credit limit to purchase their program as well as having
representatives review attendants' financial statements to assess their investment capabilities. These are
unethical tactics designed to get a large mvestment from the prospects most guaranteed to be able to pay
vOi iheir progiam and tiieu not teacn anything of validity, instead consistently tri’ing to get students to
purchase more and nioie at each event. It also appears that tneir mentors arc pusliinu specific real estate
deals that they stand to profit from, however unprofitable for the student. I have also been advised by
real estate ^and criminai counsei that posting bandit signs among other aspects of their teachings are
unlawTui, I have now found tiiat the Internet is rampant with similar complaints of students who have
been clieated out of tens of thousands of dollars as w’ell and who have requested refunds directly to the
anivetsity like me but who have neen uonied any refunds. I hese "students" liave biogsed about the
need for class action lawsuits as well as law enforcement assistance to put this :fraud to' an end during a
sad economic ti me of our country where predators pen'ade.
M y final ednclusion based on discussions witn counsel is tliat there was a gargantuan ampuilt of
misleading, fiaiiduj,e:nt, and predator}' behavior taking place that suasrests leaal cause for action and that
I am due an entire . refund of the $34,995.
